minus-squareShowroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1年前 At $499 for the Commuter model Its range is pegged at “up to 12 miles,” And there’s the deal breaker. This seems like an interesting alternative to replacing your wheel and mounting a battery somewhere on your frame. But without any range, it’s not worth the sacrifices in handling and cost.
minus-squaretortillaPeanuts@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1年前It’s even worse, the 12 mile range is the explorer model for $599. The Commuter model offers half the battery capacity, charge time, and range. The commuter model is more like 6 miles max range.
